The legal fraternity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday observed strike in protest against death of a college professor allegedly due to police torture in Loralai, Balochistan. A complete strike was observed on call of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council as the lawyers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa did not appear before the courts to pursue cases in protest against the death of Ibrahim Loni.
Professor Ibrahim Arman Loni, who was associated with Pakhtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) and was a rights activist, allegedly died due to police torture after a protest demonstration. The death of Ibrahim Loni triggered protests in different parts of the country. The district bar associations of Peshawar, Nowshera, Mardan and other area also observed strike and did not appear in courts. Due to strike of lawyers, the court proceedings could not move forward and litigants faced difficulties.
